GOSSIP IN THREE CITIES OVER THE TRASsAcrIoN.
OTHER IMPORTANT SALES EXPECTED SOON.
The transfer OF the Baltimore and Ohio Express
to the United States Express Co., which was ef.
fected yesterday was widely discussed in financial
circles in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
II is generally believed that the sale or tho
express will be followed by a disposition OF the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph, and. In New York
1t is asserted says the correspondent In that city
OF the Baltimore Sun, shat negotiations between
the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph and the West
ern Union are In progress or have been concluded,
and IL is believed that the tender TO Mr. Gould was
made about the time Mr. Garrett dissolved the
Ives option. When asked yesterday whether IL
was not true that these negotiations were pending
or had been concluded, President Green OF the
Western Union, said that he prefe-r not TO dis
cuss the matter. Heretofore the Western Union
people have been prompt with deBials Russell
Sage said that the Western Union had not yet
bought the Baltimore and Ohio but that the red
nag was flying over the entire Baltimore and Ohio
property, and that II would not be long before it
would pass out OF CARROTS hands. IL is stated on
excellent authority that Drexel, Morgan Co.
have been acting agents In she matter OF
arranging the Baltimore and Ohio mortage so that
the telegraph could be sold. The mortage covers
the telegraph as well as the railroad but CalvinS.
Br1ce says that this could easily be arranged so
that the transfer TO the Western Union could
be made. Drexel, Morgan co. refuse 10 discuss

some prominent railroad man like President King,
Of the Erie, formerly vice-president OF the Balti-
more and Ohio, or A. j. Cassatt, formerly vice
president OF the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
road may retain It's maine and Identity, ano Do
managed as q separate corporation, as stated by
Vlce-President Spencer but II Will be controlled by
q syndicate or combination OF interests which
Will not be unfr1endly TO the Pennsylvania Rail-
toad, and probably TO close alliance with the Rich
mond Terminal Now that the Ives deal has col.
iaPsed, Alfred suly and Calvin s Brice again come
will be interested In the deal for the purpose OF
securing the eastern outlet for the Missouri Paci-
nc. This Is the situation as IL Is viewed from this
standpoint, and IL is significant that Jay Gould
has lately been converting into cash large Quant-
ties OF securities, and he must have some use foe
this cash.
